Made to lie flat.

90 pieces across 51 collections lie flat — 74 sunloungers and chaises, 16 daybeds. 85 of them are here on the manufacturer’s printed typology — “sunlounger/tumbona”, “daybed”, “chaise lounge”, “lettino / sunbed” — and the other 5 on the manufacturer’s own name, because Kingsley Bate’s chaise rows print no typology at all: pieces the books call “Chaise” and “Day Bed” and describe no further. The name rule reads the head of the name — a “Sectional Chaise” is a chaise, while “Optional Chaise Arms” ends in “Arms”, is an accessory for a chaise rather than a chaise, and stays out. Nothing anywhere is admitted on shape, height or our own eye.

A piece files under daybeds exactly when the maker’s word for it contains “daybed” — so Varaschin’s “daybed / lettino” is a daybed on the book’s own word — and everything else lies with the loungers. Where the same design is made in several sizes — Victor’s lettino, Emma’s chaise module, Belt’s round daybed — it is listed once with its size runs verbatim, and every size keeps its own page: the fold is presentation, never deletion. The dimensions beside each piece are published plan dimensions in the order the book prints them, with no axis words of ours: Tibidabo’s lettino is published once at 198 × 88 and once at 88 × 198, so we assert neither way round.

We claim no recline and no stacking here — where a book states those, they are on the piece’s own page — and we publish no advice on fleet spacing, because a deck’s clearances are the venue’s arithmetic, not the manufacturers’. Photography is iSiMAR’s catalogue photography, cited to the edition and printed page it appears on.
